Blue Ivy Carter, the daughter of hip-hop power couple Beyoncé and Jay-Z, just might be the most spoiled baby in the world.

For her first birthday, the little diva received a custom-made diamond-encrusted Barbie, reports the British Sun.

The sparkling doll adorned in 160 gems and white gold reportedly cost $80,000—which is chump change for the hip-hop power couple who are the world’s highest paid celeb couple. Last year, they brought in $78 million.

Blue received her gift at a lavish party with $95,000 worth of pink and white roses and a $2,000 cake. The party favors—which included toys, princess outfits, personalized engraved gold pens, playhouses and jewelry—cost $30,000.

Word on the street is that Beyoncé and Jay-Z’s new daughter Blue Ivy Carter looks just like Dad. Better get this kid a pair of Louis Vuitton sneakers!

The hip-hop power couple released photos of Blue Ivy last month on a Tumblr page and at the time everyone was saying the little diva resembled her mother.

But recently singer Melanie Fiona, a friend of Beyoncé, told US Weekly that baby Blue is looking more and more like her rapper father. “Beyonce says Blue changes every day and looks just like Jay now,” Fiona told US.

Blue Ivy isn’t the only baby who has the appearance of a big-name celebrity. Over at the hugely popular humor site Mommy Shorts, a savvy mom blogger named Ilana Wiles has found that many babies, even those born without silver spoons in their mouths, resemble someone famous.

With the help of her dedicated readers who sent in photos of their illustrious-looking off-spring, Wiles put together a hilarious photo collection of pudgy-cheeked babies who look like everyone from Kevin on ‘The Office’ to Michelle Williams to the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man.

Here’s a look at 15 of those pics and you’ll find dozens at Mommy Shorts.
